  • Skype for iPad Goes Live Available on The App Store

    Skype has finally released their iPad version. The app isn’t a universal update for the iPhone version, meaning you’ll have to download it as a separate app on your iPad. The application brings everything you love from the iPhone version to the iPad’s larger display. This includes instant messaging, audio chatting, and video conferencing. The app can do video and audio calling both on WiFi and 3G. The same Skype for iPad, first “leaked” online back in late June.

    A list of features from the iTunes page:

    • Talk face-to-face or show what you’re seeing with front and back-facing cameras.
    • Use Skype for iPad to call anyone else on Skype – and enjoy near CD quality (SILK) sound.
    • Instant message and add emoticons to personalize your messages.
    • Make cheap calls to landlines or mobiles from your iPad.
    • Get an Online Number from Skype so people can call you on your iPad.
    • Pay As You Go with Skype Credit – great for when you’re using Skype every now and again.
    • Pay monthly with a subscription – best if you use Skype a lot.

    Qualcomm has released its Augmented Reality Software Development Kit (SDK) for iOS. The SDK allows iOS developers to create impressive augmented reality applications, and is available to download now. The technology is impressive, and we’re looking forward to seeing Qualcomm AR SDK apps hit our own iOS App Store soon.

    Qualcomm’s new SDK is available for Android developers, and one example app is Inch High Stunt Guy, which allows users to control a bike-riding stuntman as he cruises across a tabletop. Check out the video below:

    The Qualcomm Augmented Reality SDK is available to download from here, and supports the iPhone 4, iPad 2 and fourth generation iPod touch.

    Apple has just released iOS 4.3.5 which comes just days after the iOS 4.3.4 release and it resolves a “security issue” which has been resolved with certificate verification.

    Users who have jailbroken their devices using JailbreakMe will obviously need to stay away from the update if they want to keep Cydia and other installed jailbreak tweaks.
